This is funny...I am a part of the Assemblies of God USA. Yes, Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a part of our 16 Fundamental Truths followed by the doctrine of Initial Physical Evidence.

Baptism in the Holy Spirit and having the Holy Spirit with you are two different things. Nowhere does the A/G say that if you don't speak in tongues you aren't a Christian.

Baptism in the Holy Spirit is an event that is subsequent to and separate FROM salvation. You must be saved to be baptized in the Holy Spirit.

[ThirdProverb]

@clworship how I see it - Speaking in tongues according to AOG is evidence of the Holy Spirit being present in ones life. The logic here then is that if one doesnt speak in tongues HS is not present. Even when I was a christian I thought this AOG F truth was quite ridiculous and divisive.

My truth now is that everyone has a spirit from the creator that enables life - the very word spirit translated from Greek means breathe.

Being aware of spirit and the laws of life & nature is the kingdom of God spoken in the bible. everyone has spirit not everyone seeks awareness

[pianoluvr04]

the assemblies of God simply says that speaking in tongues is giving evidence of being baptized in the holy spirit. Paul says that not everyone will speak in tongues. Also, if you want something, do you just keep going or do you wait? You need to check you doctrine and your biblical doctrine. Christ does not tell us to attack our brothers in christ and this is clearly what you are doing. I'd like to know what makes you so much better than all of other pentecostal christians or anyoneforthatmatte

@pianoluvr04 "Christ does not tell us to attack our brothers" and what are you doing now ?

At salvation, a believer receives the "indwelling" of the Holy Spirit. Nothing more required to be a Christian. At the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, a believer receives the "infilling" of the Holy Spirit, or an over abundance for a powerful subsequent work in their life. This is my understanding of A/G doctrine. It's fine to disagree with doctrine but why the sarcasm and ridicule? If someone did you wrong I pray that reconciliation can happen. Thanks for listening!

i just got 1 question, does this group have anything to do with the wbc or anything like that. cuz there this girl i wanna get with and shes in this group but im not christian at all,

[lankapaul]

My reaction: Love the Lord with... and Love your brother.. What more? Anything less? I love the AG like I love all those who love Jesus. I am not ordained, but I am called all kinds of good names and very few mad ones. I don't care.

I am an AG Pastor for nearly 10 years now and I promise you will find anywhere in our beliefs that we take that standpoint. Because we don't believe that! Speaking in tongues is normative but not always what is seen. It is what was seen often in the New Testament.

Yes there is a devil that deceives people to not follow God. That's why we are told to put on the full armor of God so we can stand firm against the schemes of the enemy.

AG Doctrinal statement #5- WE BELIEVE...Every Person Can Have Restored Fellowship with God Through 'Salvation' (trusting Christ, through faith and repentance, to be our personal Savior).

AG Doctrinal statement #8- WE BELIEVE... The Initial Physical Evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is ‘Speaking in Tongues,’ as experienced on the Day of Pentecost and referenced throughout Acts and the Epistles.

These doctrinal statements articulate separate events within the life of a believer.

The bible speaks of false brethern.So be careful who you call brethern!
